Following the discovery of 3:2 resonance quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in M82X-1 (Pasham et al. 2014), we have constructed power density spectra (PDS) of all 15 (sufficiently long) {\it XMM-Newton} observations of the ultraluminous…
In this work, we study the correlation between Quasi-periodic Oscillation (QPO) frequency and the spectral parameters during various X-ray states in the black hole binary GRS 1915+105 which matches well with the predicted relativistic…
While the dynamical origin of the variability observed in Galactic Black hole systems, such as quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), are still a matter of debate, insight into the radiative components responsible for such behaviour can be…
We present the results of the analysis of a large database of X-ray observations of 22 galactic black-hole transients with the Rossi X-Ray timing explorer throughout its operative life for a total exposure time of ~12 Ms. We excluded…
We establish a unified model to explain Quasi-Periodic-Oscillation (QPO) observed from black hole and neutron star systems globally. This is based on the accreting systems thought to be damped harmonic oscillators with higher order…
The high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HF QPOs) that appear in the X-ray fluxes of low-mass X-ray binaries remain an unexplained phenomenon. Among other ideas, it has been suggested that a non-linear resonance between two…
We report the discovery with the proportional counter array (PCA) onboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) of a 450 Hz quasiperiodic oscillation (QPO) in the hard X-ray flux from the galactic microquasar GRO J1655-40. This is the…
This paper investigates the high frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HFQPOs) phenomenon around the black bounce-type (BBT) spacetime using the resonance models. We calculated the location of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) for…
Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) are very puzzling since they remain totally unexplained by popular earlier models of accretion disks. The significant rms value in power density spectrum implies that the oscillation involves in the…
Spectral fitting of the spin a in the microquasar GRS 1915+105 estimate values higher than a=0.98. However, there are certain doubts about this (nearly) extremal number. Confirming a high value of a>0.9 would have significant concequences…
We continue to investigate the X-ray timing and spectral properties of the black hole binary, XTE J1550-564. For three different groups of observations, we show evidence that two high-frequency QPOs (HFQPOs) occur simultaneously near 184…
When a bright spot in a high-inclination disk orbits a black hole, its light is periodically lensed and Doppler shifted. If the spots occupy a narrow range of radii, a quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) will result. I calculate the QPO…
We report the discovery of 8.5 sigma high-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (HFQPOs) at 66 Hz in the RXTE data of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624, a system whose X-ray properties are very similar to those of microquasar GRS…
Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) with either a black hole or a neutron star show power spectra characterised by Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPOs). Twin peak high frequency QPOs are characterised by frequencies that are typical for matter…
The study of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) of X-ray flux observed in the stellar-mass black hole (BH) binaries or quasars can provide a powerful tool for testing the phenomena occurring in strong gravity regime. We thus fit the…
In this work, we report for the first time two repeated quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the light curve of the Flat Spectrum Radio Quasar (FSRQ) S5 1044+71. This source was observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)…
Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) of the hot plasma spots or clumps orbiting an accreting black hole contain information on the black hole mass and spin. The promising observational signatures for the measurement of black hole mass and…
We continue our earlier studies of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the power spectra of accreting, rapidly-rotating black holes that originate from the geometric "light echoes" of X-ray flares occurring within the black hole…
Small oscillations of current-carrying string loops around stable equilibrium positions corresponding to minima of the effective potential in the equatorial plane of the Kerr black holes are studied using the perturbation method. In the…
We report the discovery of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) at ~11 mHz in two RXTE observations and one Chandra observation of the black hole candidate H1743-322. The QPO is observed only at the beginning of the 2010 and 2011 outbursts at…
